When I reviewed the April Holo Grail Box, I got the most questions and comments about the lovely green holo Philly Loves Lacquer I Love You A Lime. Well, it turns out, you will be able to buy it if you skipped on the box - but not the exact same version ;) More info can be found below!

And I will also put this in here - my blog has finally moved to its own domain and can now be found at http://www.thepolishinglife.com. Bloglovin and similar services should make the transition seamlessly, but if you're using RSS or something like that, you might need to update your subscription. Thank you for sticking with me and onward to the polish!

The story goes as follows - Esther from Philly Loves Lacquer created the first batch of I Love You A Lime, but the package got lost in transit. She then whipped up a second batch, which turned out slightly different, and that version was included in the Holo Grail Box. Later, when the boxes were all packed up and sent to the customers, the first batch showed up! So Esther and Denise from Dazzled have decided to put it up for sale for a discounted price. The polishes are slightly different, you can already see it from the bottle shot - batch #1 is on the left, the Holo Grail batch is on the right.

The difference is quite visible on the nail, too - the Holo Grail version is less pigmented, but has more golden flakes (middle and ring finger). The #1 version, which will be available for purchase, is more opaque and saturated, but has less flakie action going on (pointer and pinkie). And yes, these comparison shots show my Cinderella hand =D

Now about the polish which you'll be able to buy - as I've already mentioned, it's a bit more pigmented and can be applied in two coats. It's a pastel lime jelly polish with a scattered holo effect, which doesn't do a full "rainbow", but gives the polish a bit of sparkle and a lit-from-within look in the sun. My swatches show 2 coats + topcoat.

This polish is very pretty as well and I wasn't able to pick a favourite between the two versions =D
If you're interested in purchasing Philly Loves Lacquer I Love You A Lime version #1, Denise at Dazzled will have the restock details posted soon, so keep an eye on her social media accounts - Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.
